Taiwanese demonstrators protest Taiwan's and China's cross-strait meetings as police stand guard outside of the hotel where the talks are being held in the central Taiwanese city of Taichung. China's senior Taiwan envoy, Chen Yunlin, arrived there today for five days of trade negotiations with his Taiwanese counterpart, Chiang Pin-kung. Critics fear the Taiwanese government's China-friendly policies are opening the door to eventual unification with the mainland.
